    This bakery sells fantastic tasting Portuguese egg tarts. The egg filling has the right sweet fluffy creamy texture and taste to accompany the chewy flaky shell. I was lucky to come at the right time this afternoon when they were just coming out of the oven. During this visit I also bought a couple of their pineapple bao tarts which were also delicious. Definitely will be a regular customer here; so many other items to try.

    My favorite place in NYC to get Portuguese egg tarts. They are the best! People come in here and buy them by the dozens. They are huge compared to other places and filled with so much egg custard! Tastes best hot. The in-house bakers are constantly making them all day. Seating. There is only a few high stools by the counter in the window. Service. Quick and efficient. During breakfast time, they have savory breakfast items like congee and rice noodles. The store itself is big. Lots of pastry selections to choose from. For those people that like durian, they make a durian crepe cake. Check out the display counter around the cashier area for some interesting cakes and desserts like mango puddings, rainbow jelly, red velvet cup cakes. This place is popular, on weekends, there may be a line of customers. Most waiting for the fresh Portuguese egg tarts to come out of the oven. Take note that this place opens and closes early. Seating. This place is mostly for takeout. But there are a few high stools at the counter in front of the window.

    BLUF: Our favorite Chinese-style Portuguese Egg Tarts in New York City; found only in Brooklyn. The Lily Bloom bakery chain offers one of the best Chinese-style Portuguese Egg Tarts (pastél de nata; 葡撻) in New York City. Their tarts are $1.75 each, and are uniquely at least 50% larger, if not twice as large as the competition. We haven't found egg tarts this large anywhere else in New York, as Lily Bloom locations are all in Brooklyn. Lily Bloom's Portuguese egg tarts come piping hot when ordered by the box and fresh out of the oven, and are somewhat bland if eaten hot. But given several hours to cool and congeal into a proper custard, these egg tarts turn out to be pretty good. Xin Fa's Portuguese egg tarts have a dense filing, with a lightly sweet, eggy, slightly caramelized flavor, but these tarts lack the flaky crust of, and are less sweet than authentic pastéis de nata. Xin Fa / Lily Bloom has a loyalty program for those ordering Portuguese egg tarts in boxes of 6. They provide an $8 discount for those who collect and present 10 QR codes from the boxes; one from each box. This specific Lily Bloom location on 86th Street by 15th Avenue is more convenient to car traffic than their locations on 8th Avenue and by Bay Parkway. It's easier to find parking here, but the downside is that this location closes earlier than the others. Ordering is primarily for take-out; there are only two counter-height seats by the window. The ordering process is a little disjointed: - Customers may take packaged baked goods themselves. - Get unpackaged baked goods, such as Portuguese egg tarts and roast pork buns, with staff assistance. Point to or tell them what you want. - Order drinks, refrigerated desserts, and hot foods at the counter, and pay at the counter. While we come specifically for the Portuguese Egg Tarts, Lily Bloom offers many other items including buns, desserts, cakes, drinks, and seasonal Chinese treats (e.g., that Lily Bloom sells during Chinese New Year), such as radish cake.

    I was finally able to see the buns display after years of them opening during the pandemic; before that, the buns were blocked off for showcasing. The shop is clean and the ladies that help you with the buns are kind and helpful. I tried to get different buns from other Chinese bakeries so I got one with sweet outer layer and salty egg yolk (it was fine, nice to try). Another bun I got was a really fresh looking sesame ball, which had lotus paste in the inside; really good, but very little filling. Another was a tapioca type texture bun, the texture is good, flavor is too subtle. Finally got a chance to try their rice noodles and it was a hefty container for $3 and $3.25. Got the dried shrimp rice noodles and beef rice noodles. The portion is huge. Unfortunately, I bought it over to eat it somewhere else, so it's gotten stiff so I will try it another time asap.

    Lily Bloom is a big and clean space filled with many pastries on display. Service is quick and efficient. In love with their Portuguese egg tarts and are a must try! They're bigger than other tarts and have a perfect, creamy texture. They are so consistent with quality and hit the spot every time Will be coming back to try other baked goods here too

    I decided to come in when I saw several people coming out with baked goods. It's a nice looking bakery with wonderful displays of colorful desserts. It is packed in there, but the staff is there to assist you. They have your typical Chinese goods from roast pork bun to curry chicken balls. I got a delicious an ice blended Mango coconut sticky rice and a sweet bread. Both are so delicious. Will go back there for sure.

    Ordered a dozen of these and OMG it's so good

    I will admit, this is the first time I have been to the other side of Brooklyn and I met family members for dim sum lunch. My cousin told me that this is the place to go for egg tarts and we picked up a dozen to take home to enjoy. SO GLAD that we made the choice for a dozen as when we ate them, it was so custardy and so delicious. We inhaled 4 when we got home and finished the balance within a day. Definitely coming back here the next time I'm visiting to enjoy more egg tarts.

    Delicious treats and baked goods! Got some treats for the Lunar New Year. This location accepts credit cards. I'm glad I don't live closer, I'd buy stuff here everyday!

    Their egg tarts are to die for, they are sooooo good! Big fan of their milk tea as well. You really can't go wrong with this combo. Please go try it! Amazing service from the employees and you can sit in to eat it as well.

    I been to Lilly Bloom Bakeries and this one follows the similar format. The store still have COVID procedures in place. A person stands behind a parition and gets the items for you. The bakery items were affordably priced. I got a few baked goods but, I had original stopped by for bubble tea but, was told they ran out of boba. This wasn't the first time I stopped by and was told that they ran out of boba.

    A nice treat

    Lily bloom has always been my favorite local bakery for breakfast. I always look forward to its new menu and bakery items that's inspired by a creative and modern twist. It's not your typical Asian bakery but filled with delicious flavors. Some of my favorites include HK milk tea, soy milk, rose tea, brown sugar drinks, etc. my typical go to are Portuguese egg tarts, Japanese cheesecake, pineapple bun with real pineapples, cake rolls, etc. i was delighted to find that they opened a three store front bakery at this new location and made it a point to try. Luckily I was able to take advantage of their grand opening special of 10% off everything. They currently do not offer dine in but looks like they will in the future. The sesame pudding was delicious and I highly recommend it.

    Cute bakery in a local neighborhood that just opened! They're having 10% off for their grand opening that is still ongoing. The inside is very well kept and everything is aesthetically pleasing. I forgot to take a picture of the hong kong milk tea I bought but it was really good as well! Will definitely come back to try some other stuff when i'm in the area!

    Black Forest cake - taste really bad
    Irene L.

    I brought so much things here and they were either terrible or mediocre. The Portuguese egg tarts were okay. Even though it came out warm the shell was not crispy. The pork floss bun was ok at best and not enough floss. The coffee was ok. The Black Forest cake for $30 was horrible. The cake had a rough texture and the cream was heavy with a fake chocolate flavoring and the jam that was used as the filling was nasty. The brownie that was almost $3 was very chewy and was a small slice. The bake goods here are a hard pass.

We all ordered a sandwich and got the squid appetizer and two pots of tea. The service was just ok, it was one waiter and sometimes we really had to get his attention. Didn't give us any water in the beginning and we had to ask for some near the end.

But honestly, I was pleasantly surprised by the taste of the food. The food all tasted pretty good. The katsu sandwich was really good, the squid appetizer good, the fries and salad not bad.

Service is lacking and environment is good.

I live in Stony Brook so when the stars are aligned and there is no traffic on the Belt I can order a great cuppa coffee before work. I park across the street and was the first one in the small establishment. I see two gents hustling behind the counter and zero in on the baked goods. I'm not understanding the spiced lattes but after a few times, I'll try the Cardamom latte but for now I'm sticking with a Flat White and a freshly baked croissant. The flat white I ordered? Perfecto. If a good cup of coffee costs the same as a chain coffee slop they serve to the masses, I'll take a well crafted coffee from Clockface Coffee to start my day. Hopefully, if the traffic is light on the Belt Parkway, I can stop by in the morning. I grew up in Canarsie but all the great local places I keep finding by the job, Bay Ridge rocks!

I ordered avocado toast with eggs and a pastry. The only real positive was the bread itself, which was fresh, large, and actually tasted good. Unfortunately, that is where the positives ended. Although the avocado seemed less generic than standard store-bought guacamole, the taste was not good. The eggs were terrible -- they looked very unappetizing, tasted awful, and appeared nothing like the photo shown on Grubhub. The same photo also showed a small side salad, but no salad was included. I requested chili oil, and that was missing as well. The added cheese had virtually no flavor, so overall the dish felt careless, incomplete, and extremely unsatisfactory. I also checked the box requesting utensils, but no utensils or napkins were included. However, to be clear, this review is not about forgotten utensils. It is about the overall lack of quality, attention to detail, and customer care. The pastry was another culinary failure. It was sold under the French name -"Pan Au Raisin" but it was nothing like what real "Pain Aux Raisins " supposed to be, it was bland, greasy, oily and missing the traditional custard base plus it was delivered in an undersized paper envelope that left the food exposed, a clear violation of basic sanitary standards for food transport. Most importantly, this order caused me stomach pain and GI upset. This was the only food I had eaten in a 24-hour period, and more than 24 hours later I still felt unwell. The owner's reply to my original review was patronizing, dismissive, and refused to take any real accountability. Instead of addressing the food quality issues, the missing items, the poor packaging, and the physical reaction I had to the order, the response tried to reduce the entire problem to utensils and push the conversation into private email. I am keeping this public so other customers can make an informed decision. I wanted to support a new local business, but the bad taste, poor execution, misleading presentation, lack of care, and dismissive management made that impossible. Based on this experience, I would not order again and would not recommend this place to friends or family.
